Premium processing to resume for FY 2018 cap H-1B petitions

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on September 18, 2017 that they have resumed premium processing for all H-1B petitions subject to the cap filed this past April in the lottery.

Premium processing is service offered by USCIS at an additional fee of $1,225 for certain business nonimmigrant visas. Premium processing guarantees a fifteen (15) -day processing time. Note, it does not always result in an approval during the allotted time period. Premium processing just guarantees processing. If USCIS does not process the petition in 15 days, it will refund the premium processing fee.

USCIS will resume premium processing for all H-1B petitions as their work load lightens. Our office will continue to monitor premium processing updates and provide them to you as they become available. For any further questions about premium processing or if you would like to upgrade your H-1B cap petition to premium processing, contact one of the immigration lawyers in our office today!

He cares about his clients;

As international entertainers, we travel in and out of the U.S. a great deal. Our foreign travel complicated our immigration case. But John was there to smooth over every step and to answer all of our many questions. John went to the interview with us and we could tell by the way he was treated…

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship.

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship. His help through the whole process was more helpful than at the interview itself. He was always available no matter what question I had. Even if the question (now in retrospect) sounded silly, he was patient answering every concern I had. He made jokes and made…

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done.

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done. I had been illegal for years. Attorney Foley explained to me what he was going to do before he did it. He told me what to expect and it was like he had a crystal ball. After a very anxious interview…

We were fortunate to have teamed up with Attorney Foley.

We had a very complicated case which included an adjustment of status and bringing two children into the US through a foreign consulate. Attorney Foley told us what to expect and he made it happen. In addition to completing the paperwork for us, he answered all of our questions, showed enormous patience and helped us…

I recommend you to call Attorney John Foley.

We tried to do our adjustment of status on our own but it didn’t go well. We called Attorney Foley after we received a denial notice from USCIS. Attorney Foley called the USCIS Supervisor who signed our denial notice and not only did she agree to review our case but she agreed to reschedule our…

Thanks to him, I am proud to say I am now a U.S. Citizen!

My husband and I had hired another immigration lawyer before we met Attorney Foley but that lawyer charged us $50 every time we called him. And we almost always spoke with a secretary and not the lawyer. After too much frustration, we fired that lawyer and hired Attorney Foley immediately after we met with him….

I would strongly recommend Attorney Foley.

I looked at doing my own immigration paperwork but it was too complicated. Attorney Foley did it for us. He took care of all of the forms and told us what to expect at the interview. It was like he knew the questions in advance. I would strongly recommend Attorney Foley. He knows the system….

I can’t believe it but I am now a US citizen.

I can’t believe it but I am now a US citizen. I am able to travel back and forth to Ireland for the rest of my life without worrying about my immigration status in either country and I can vote in the upcoming US election. Attorney John Foley handled my case. He was with me…

We needed immediate guidance on the revocation of my employment-based green card.

We researched online for good lawyers who can help us evaluate our status and recommend next steps. Our main concern was not to jeopardize our current status and future visa in the US. After calling several big law firms, we couldn’t get anywhere and didn’t get much traction and the consultation fees were too high. Luckily, I came across…

I no longer live looking over my shoulder

Two years ago, I was where you are right now. I was on the Internet looking for an immigration lawyer. I read these same testimonials and I called Attorney Foley. Unlike the other lawyers, he spoke with me on the telephone. He then told me what I needed to do to get legal and to…

We are so grateful for his professional and honest service.

We hired Attorney Foley to handle our Adjustment of Status case, and we could not be more pleased with the high level of care and competency he afforded us. Attorney Foley’s experience and expertise ensured our forms were prepared thoroughly and we were ready for our interview. Immigration issues can become a very stressful and…

Words can’t describe our appreciation for all the help Attorney Foley gave us.

Our experience with Attorney John Foley has not only been helpful but wonderful. He is much more than just a lawyer, but also a friend. When the both of us started searching for the right lawyer, it can be of course a stressful process, but we got very lucky. We found Attorney John Foley on…
